THE DARKEST HOUR.

For period of four years I've been a
victim of very severe and agonizing
case of salt rheum, which affected my
hands to such an extent that they almost
became burden
My hand became raw and horrifying,
compelling me to keep it covered all the

I've spent hundreds of dollars for var,
ious preparations, but instead of benefits
ing my condition, they all seemed to

the miserable disease, until had about
given up all hope.
But thank heaven, 1.-The darkest hour
is just before day." and am reJoiced to
know that positive cure has been found,
which is known as B. B. B.-Botanic
Blood Balm.
My family all rejoice at its magical
curative powers in giving me relief. My
hand has been cured aud resembles a

Suicide of Mrs. A. R. Nrenke.

Yesterday morning at about hat past 10
o'clock, Mrs Nettie A. Menke, wife of
Anton r. Menke, who resides about half a
mile east of Perkins Station, committed
suicide. Mrs. Menke has been in poor
health during the past three years, and I'M
der medical attendance during most of
that time. Her illness more recently de-
veloped mental arrangement, and she has
made previous attempts at self-destruction,
and on this account had been quite care
fully watched. Yesterday morning, how
ever, she happened TO be alone in her bed
room for q short time, and when a member
of the household afterwards went in she
was found to have hanged herself using a
sheet for the purpose. One end of it she
had fastened over the upper corner of the
bedroom door. and the other around her
neck and then thrown herself forward in
such a manner as to produce sirangulation.
She had, apparently, just expired when
discovered. The Coroner was notified of
tn death, but upon the certificate of her
attending physician concerning her state of
mind, and that the suicidal act resulted
therefrom, il was decided that no inquest
was necessary. Mrs. Menke was 81 years
of age, and leaves husband and two
daughters, the latter aged four and nine
years respectively. The funeral will take
place tomorrow at P. NJ. from the resi-
dence, and the interment will be at the
city cemetery.

BASEBALL YESTERDAY.
The Atlas Beat the Haverlys = othe
Games-The Atlas New Grounds.

The Atlas Beat the Haverlys - Other
Games-The Atlas New Grounds.
At Agricultural Park the Atlas and
home club added another victory to its
score, the figures standing 10 to 4-the
same old -four" by which so many games
have been lost by clubs of the California
League this season. 1t was not by any
means pleasant day to witness such
trial of skill, the wind blowing the dust in
such clouds that when the spectators left
the grounds their clothing was of greyish
color because of the light soil deposited
upon it. Sacramentans said before the
game commenced that it was
Bay fellows will win but, if it
was home-like weather, it could
not pull them through. The Atlas out
played their opponents at all points-runs,
base hits and bases stolen. and made but
three errors, as against seven. Meegan,
pitcher for the Haverlys, was uncertain,
and the Atlas found him handily. Levy,
his catcher, worked hard. but had num-
Der of passed balls nevertheless. Bennett
at first, held the fort without an error, and
Hanley and Lawton did fine fielding and
batting, the former making three-base
hit and two-bagger. On the part of the
Atlas, the battery worked excellently, and,
as will be seen by the score, were very
strong at the bat and in base running.
McLaughlin's play between first and Sec
ond bases, to give Mullee, who was on
third, chance to tally, was handsomely
worked and successful. He had pre-
viously endeavored to carry Anderson
through in similar manner, but the lat
ter did not understand what the gentle
William was up to, and failed to take ad-
vantage of it. Powers was great success
at first base and in whatever he did. An
derson kept up his record as successful
batter, and played WELL Robertson came
out strong. Newbert did we'll, but should
practice closing up on slow ball hit toward
him. Lovett guarded left field without error,
and handled the bat with good judgment
There were three catches of hot balls by
the Altas-one by Robertson, which made
his fingers Jingle; another by Mullee, who
got it in one hand and had to swing around
TO hang on, and another by Anderson, in
the ninth inning, who stopped STEMS
drive, and doubled up by throwing to first
so quickly that r. Levy, who had started
from first 10 second, thinking Stein had
made a base hit, could not for few sec
onds understandzhow he was retired. The
game was played without dispute, and
the spectators, while very naturally favor
ing the home club, applauded good plays
of the visiting nine literally. The attend
ance, though not as great as it has been at
times, was very large. Following is the
score in full:

An INSTRUMENTATION Hurt.

Yesterdays Woodland Maa states that
on Friday evening young man by the
name of Charles O'Mera, employed on the
Young Mems Christian Association build
ing in that place, fell from scaffold, about
twenty feet from the ground, sustaining Sc
rious if not fatal injuries. He had started
to come down from the scaffold, and in some
way lost his footing and fell. striking on
his back and shoulders. The workmen ran
to his aid and found him insensible. He
was carried into the residence of Mr.. MUIR
ply, near by, and afterwards conveyed to
the County Hospital, where it was ascer-
tanned that the left shoulder was displaced
and it is thought that he sustained serious
internal injuries. Grave doubts are ex-
pressed as to his recovery. Mr.. O'Mera
went to Woodland some weeks ago from
Sacramento, and while his conduct there
was not of an altogether exemplary nature,
yet he succeeded in winning the good
graces of some of the Y. NJ. c. A.. who as
sisted him in procuring the position which
may cost him his life. From testimonials
in his possession it would seem that he is a
young man who enjoys a good reputation
where he has hitherto been.

Clunia onara House.

Madame Janish Countess Arco), the re-
nowned emotional actress, will appear at
the Clunie next Friday and Saturday even
ings in Sardou's great play Princess An
drea, supported by Frank E. Aiken and
strong company. 1t is very rarely the case
that performances given by an actress of
this lady's ability can be enjoyed at such
low rate of admission as is charged on this
occasion; but business rivalry is of great
benefit to the public, and IN this instance
will prove very acceptable. The Janish
company have just concluded an engage
ment in San Francisco, and speaking of her
performance the Call says: In the act of
the boudoir scene, where the Princess tries
to win her husband by display of affec-
ton from his caprice for Stella, it was an
admirable piece of acting, and so earnest
and natural was it in the alternate badinage
and earnestness with which she addressed
the Prince so loving in its tenderness, so
firm in its assertion, that the audience ex-
pressed its admiration in the most decided
way" The Examiner pronounced the play
"a strong, smooth drama" and claimed
that as the young wife, Madame Janish
seemed like very loyable, womanly
woman, and an excellent actress. She is
personally charming and her method is
good one. Her best effect was made in
the interview between Andrea and the
Minister of Police, but she was graceful
and interesting throughout the play"

SPRINKLING THE STOCKTON RoAp.-At
the meeting held at Chances, on the Lower
Stockton road, Saturday afternoon, for the
purpose of considering the matter of hav.
ing that highway sprinkled from the Y
street levee to the Six-mile House, there
was large attendance and much enthu-
siasm. E. Greer presided and w. Wilcox
| acted as Secretary. After many of those
present had made remarks discussing the
| proposition, a committee of three was ap-
pointed to have charge of the improve
ment, and also a committee of five-con-
sisting of s. Chance, J. P. Harrison, G.
Brainard, VIM. Doyle and P. Il. Beckley-
to solicit funds TO carry out the plan.
Judging from the expressions of the sturdy
farmers present, it is pretty sure that the
sprinkling will be proceeded with. and the
Lower Stockton road will thus assist in
aiding the " boon" so near at hand in this
section.

Callahan, his son, supposed to have died at
the Samoan Islands, states that positive in

quence of his jumping into the sea while

though he did jump overheard while in
sane, but was rescued and taken ashore at
Leure Bay, Tuterilla Island, sixty miles
from Apia, about year ago, and has not
been heard of since by his relatives. who
consequently have believed him to be
dead. Mr.. Callahan states that his parents
do not wish to claim all the estate he left
on the islands and in Sacramento, but the
alleged widow is claiming all, and the
matter will be left to the Courts to decide
